Just to echo Les, in many if not most modern run-of-the-mill setups, LAN bandwidth is a bigger constraint than server processing power. Reading and writing backups to a remote file server will substantially increase bandwidth requirements -- at least 2X on initial backups, and many times more on incrementals if using rsync. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
